Justin Bieber seemed to be giving some relationship advice on Twitter last night, following rumours of an alleged split with girlfriend Selena Gomez.

The 'Boyfriend' star, who was said to have broken up with the Wizards of Waverly Place star last month following cheating allegations, tweeted a picture of his crown tattoo, along with the caption: “Be a king, treat a woman like a queen."

According to reports, Selena dumped Justin earlier this week and since then Selena has been spotted dining at Hooters and partying with her good friend Ashley Tisdale at her production company's Christmas party.

Last night, Bieber tweeted the lonesome photo but rather than going topless and showing off his growing muscles, the 18-year-old was more subdued.

HollywoodLife reports that Selena had been angered by Justin's new relationship with Nick Jonas, her ex-boyfriend, with them claiming that the 20-year-old had been "devastated".

“Hanging out with Nick proved that he wants to just be a jerk about this, and Selena’s sick of being heartbroken,” the insider said. “They are finished, and I think it’s for good this time.”

In an interview with Oprah earlier this year, Justin talked about how he likes to treat his girlfriend, and how he makes a conscious effort to make sure she's number one priority.

"Sometimes we gotta take the back exits, but I never make her separate from me. I don't want her to feel like I'm ashamed of her," he said. "A lot of guys do that - especially in the business - they don't want to be seen with the girl, so they make them ride in separate cars and do all that getaway stuff.

"When we get away, we're getting away together at least."

Despite rumours of a split following Justin's appearance at the Victoria's Secret show in November, the couple were seen together at the American Music Awards, and have been hanging out ever since.
